IFS Tacomas take on the Rubicon

I have Atrac and a rear locker. I was fine on the rubicon. I only got stuck once and I told everyone if I tried Jerrys Solid axle line Id get stuck. I got stuck and a front locker wont do anything if both front wheels are off the ground.

 

Be a dream to trail my truck on a trail like that

 

Make the dream a reality the trail was definitely a blast and hard, next summer ill do it but spend at least 2 nights on the trail

 

I welded up rocksliders on my truck, now i have to build front bumper to mount my winch, and build rear bumper, and add air lockers to my truck

 

Takes a lot to run a trail like this but this trail makes all that work totally worth it

 

Nice work gents.

That trail is no shit. Got my old junk through it and know enough now that I'll happily ride shotgun but I'm never doing that again.

33x10.50 MT, F/R Air Lockers, Budbuilt stem to stern, Marlin 4.7, etc, etc.

 

Trail was definitely work. I'll do it again next summer but only over 3 days instead of two and with a smaller group.

 

To me the group was worth it since there were more people to camp with/hang out by the "fire" with. Oh wait some people went to bed at 7pm..

 

You know you enjoyed watching those Washington guys make it through.

 

I have the skills to build and drive,i can di this ,just need more cash and time, army keeps me busy

 

Says your all running full skids. Do you all have the exhaust reroute or the skids that just go around the exhaust?

 

Reroute. You'd get hung up on the drop down part every 5 seconds if you dont

 

Where to you get the skids

 

Group had a mix of @RelentlessFab and bamf @JLee

 

As nick said Relentless or BAMF. BAMF is great because all of his skids are 1/4" steel, I believe relentless is 1/4" front and 3/16" rear two. How ever those rear two may be more reinforced and it would be okay, I'd have to look.

My 2 rear 3/16" skids are banana'ed after this trail (4x innovations)

 

1/4 Relentless front, 3/16 relentless transmission (bent but works), 1/4 bamf prototype tcase (also bent but fine), 3/16 ATO Gas, Bamf 1/4 Diff

 

Definitely also need lca skids or aftermarket lca's, if you want I'll show a picture of the bottom of my LCA's. Gas tank and diff you can live without, I'll eventually get an aluminum gas tank skid but not diff. Really it just comes down to picking the best line and having a good spotter

 

Thanks, Thats what i was concerned with.

 

That's good to know. I was going to go with gas tank before lca skids.

And that reroute is key. I bash mine (haven't gotten the reroute done yet) on trails way easier than this one.
